Directing his first film since 1998's Lethal_Weapon_4, Richard_Donner helmed this big-budget adaptation of Michael_Crichton's novel of the same name. Featuring a script by first-time screenwriter George_Nolfi, Timeline begins in France in the near future. A group of students from Yale are there studying a medieval site, when their professor, played by Billy_Connolly, mysteriously goes missing. To make matters more enigmatic, the students are then taken back to the United States by a shadowy technology company called ITC, led by Robert Doniger (David_Thewlis). The eccentric Doniger explains that because of a machine that his company built, their professor is trapped in 14th century France. In order to rescue him, two of the students, Chris Hughes (Paul_Walker) and Kate Erickson (Frances O'Connor), along with Andre Marek (Gerard_Butler), an archeological site manager, must travel to France, circa 1357, amid archaic war, deadly diseases, and other unexpected pitfalls. Meanwhile, David Stern (Ethan_Embry), a third student, stays behind to keep an eye on the shady Doniger. Matthew Tobey, Rovi
